08 28 Who Are Your People

In our exploration of 'Half-Brained Christianity,' we dive into the profound impact of group identity on our spiritual growth. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 15:33, we're reminded that 'bad company corrupts good character.' This isn't just about teenage peer pressure; it's a lifelong truth that shapes who we become. Our brains are wired to learn from the examples around us, storing a 'library' of behaviors in our right brain that inform our instantaneous reactions. To truly embody the character of Christ, we need to intentionally surround ourselves with people who reflect His love and grace. The early church understood this, forming tight-knit communities bound by shared stories, experiences, and values. As we consider our own spiritual journey, we're challenged to ask: Who are our people? Are we part of a fellowship that's helping us grow more like Jesus? This message invites us to reflect on our spiritual connections and seek out relationships that nurture our faith and character.
